you're being kind. I'd put them at about 5 or 6 emotionally, but with improved vocabularies and clothes. Still working out their psychological problems, with apparently no success.
Trump lives on the edge of bankruptcy. He has to start a new scam to fund the legal fees to stay out of jail for his previous scams. He continually overstates the value of his assets without mentioning his large debts.
Musk's claim to be the richest man in America is based on the stock prices of Tesla, which is frankly ridiculous.
Tesla is value as being being more than GM and Ford combined, despite the later selling many times more cars.
Being rich implies not having to look over your shoulder to see if your creditors are catching up to you.
By that standard, neither Trump or Musk are rich, just con men riding the wave of the Ponzi scheme.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. It's like those boys divided into two groups - the ones that thought bullying unfair and it shouldn't happen to anyone, and the ones that only felt bullying was unfair because it was happening to them
That's the group Elon is from by all accounts from his classmates and the whole small town Elon and his gang of extra-racisy buddies terrorized for years, apparently.
It doesn’t help that they exist in a society that has taken all the guardrails off of having extreme wealth & has invented a hierarchical system that puts the accumulation of wealth above all. Part of the problem is that we don’t make using unearned extreme wealth to gain privilege a shameful thing.
This is extremely obvious to anyone who has ever seen a rich man talk for very long. Specifically when they don't know they're being heard by anyone else.
I actually think they are the wealthy 12 year old boys who picked on everyone else and never was held accountable. And then grew into wealthy adults who continue to do the same because no one has ever stopped them
Yup. Mommy and Daddy bought their way into expensive Ivy League schools and picked up the tab whenever they trashed anything or got into trouble. Destroy it, and just buy a replacement ...
These are twelve year old boys who were patted “atta boy” often against bad behavior ignored to have a certain look with proper speech and a proper suit when needed to give an allusion of confident and better when underneath were they damaged unlearned, simple, general, and mediocre.
Sad! Not impressed! Can’t touch all anywhere! Not respecters “person”. The initial wake up call was the Fem movement. Now frustrated, no one is accepting them. Blew their cover. Attractive to some, but now insecure as their robes have been removed.
I bet a bunch were the ones who were picked last in PE when we had to form teams and turned down by girls at homecoming... the deep levels of vengeance and hate, especially against anyone of color, women and/or anyone who is smart and thoughtful is astonishing
Stop excusing their behavior. I was bullied all through middle and most of high school and it didn’t turn me into a monster who thinks empathy is disease. Just the opposite, in fact.
This probably also explains all those middle-aged men seeking to have sex with underage girls. They've never forgotten wanting that when they were the same age.
I think that's a disgusting way of looking at bullying victims; more than likely they're the sociopaths who did the bullying & they never grew out of it.

But these nerds are morons.
Why are American soldiers not only on the ground in Yemen but also Lithuania?
Why did Germany just tell their people to stock their pantry and put water into bottles?
Russians are coming, are here.
Wedgie! 🤷🏻
You are amused by abusing others?
The pain of others causes you joy?
What actually causes you lasting joy VS a moment of violent amusement?
Sorry to make a flippant joke in bad taste about it.
That said, I'm not above a bit of schadenfreude from time to time.
Do you want an actual peaceful society or to reserve violencw for just your own use? Wtf for?
Imagining yourself bullying someone is being an active participant in the furthering of abuse.
Nobody deserves to be a bully - chew on that for a bit instead.
You are worried is your victim deserves to be bullied.
I'm more worried that YOU enjoy being a bully yourself.
Do you really want bullying and oppression to go away? Or is it cool so long as you're the bully and someone else is the victim.
And so it goes around..
Their sense of superiority is inbred, just like their desire to have sex with their own kids, abuse their wives, & rape others.
They were raised to be monsters.
However, I didn't turn into a raging asshole that delights in punching down.
